How we help
We provide support for the issues that people navigating cancer face every day. From breaking down complex topics, providing step-by-step guidance, and creating programs that improve your quality of life—whatever your daily challenge, we’re here to help.
Changing what it means to live with cancer
You need to focus on your journey. Our programs and resources are here to empower you with accurate information, simplify medical terms, provide actionable advice for every step of the way, and give emotional support from people who understand what you are going through. Here’s how we help:
“If it wasn’t for Livestrong, there’s a chance I wouldn’t be able to ever start a family of my own.“

18,000 served and counting. Livestrong Fertility Network provides discounted and free services for those whose cancer may affect their ability to start a family in the future. With our support, patients have saved over $99 million, and we’re ready to help every survivor get the fertility support they need.
Gain strength and meet other survivors through the Livestrong-created curriculum at select YMCAs across the U.S. Exercise has been shown to decrease cancer-related fatigue, improve quality of life, and increase physical activity. Get back on your feet at a low or no cost with the support of a warm community.

Our high-impact person-centered investments make a difference in individual communities. We have funded over 600 programs, and we are currently focusing our funding on exercise oncology, young survivors, and nutrition.
The assistance Livestrong gave us after my cancer diagnosis changed our lives and gave us hope during this rough time.

Legislators at the state and national level need to prioritize access to care, patient-centered innovation, survivors’ quality of life, and fund cancer care research. Livestrong is dedicated to supporting representatives and holding them accountable for championing initiatives that have an impact.
The days after diagnosis are dizzying—which is why we created the Livestrong Guidebook. It is your companion as you navigate your emotional, physical, and practical concerns with organizational tools and advice so you can focus on your well-being.
